Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 12, 2002 Staff Share Posted September 12, 2002 Dear Anon,1. Thanks for your sketch of your plot of land.2. Overall, your plot is not a `worst case' senario. Frankly, it is quite common to find such a layout plan. And in many situations, there should not be an issue here. Provided, here is no canal or large drain at the back of the house. Planting trees behind the house is a consideration.3. Another approach done is shown in a rough sketch - attached to this message. It shows a semi-circular profile radiating outwards of the house. 4. First of all, this may not be applicable to most houses as it implies e.g. planting trees in a semi-arch along the `yellow' boundary of the house. Impratical as it may sound (because we need to take care of the garage e.t.c) the is a Shapes and Form method of `compensating' for a narrow front.If the building itself looks like your plot of land, then e.g. the front door area or floor can have this semi-circular e.g. carpte tiles radiating much like that in the attached illustration.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 9/9/2002 2:01:00 PM, Anonymous wrote:Dear Cecil:My house lot is configured asfollows:I understand it is not good tohave the back larger than thefront.
